BIKES RULE!

Bicycle Film Festival 2007
New York City
[one of sixteen stops along the trail]

[from Flavorpill NYC:]


"Celebrating all things two-wheeled, the Seventh Annual Bicycle Film Festival presents five days of film, art, music, and plenty of peddling. Anthology Film Archive hosts 14 programs of films covering every spoke, from the DIY antics of the Black Label Bicycle Club to the activist pursuits of Critical Mass and an account of January's memorial ride in honor of those killed in traffic. It's not all politics and flicks, though, as bike jousting, trail riding, and everything BMX all represent, too. So hit one program or buy a weekend pass, then change that rusty chain and ride over.
